        Flora y fauna

        by Leticia Rivas

        What does being a twin mean? What does being a twin mean to others and to yourself? Suburbian SMEs, old communist militants, cell-phone sales strategies, beer-flavored kisses, Tinder dates, phobias, millennial entrepreneurship, and the motherhood question: the characters in these stories inhabit these unstable and difficult territories where the challenge is not only to find their way in the world but to differentiate themselves with precision–in the chiaroscuro of contemporary times–where do one’s own story and desires begin and end?With flashes of humor that don’t shy away from irony or tenderness, a sharp and precise eye for emotion, and a disarming profoundness, these stories by Leticia Rivas impress with their extraordinary skill and move you from the first to the last page.

        The Salt

        by Adriana Riva

        “The silence stretches. We have come this far. Mom is that unreachable inch of skin between my shoulder blades, that bit that itches and I can’t scratch”.Beginning with a childhood accident, Ema digs into the bond with her mother and, pregnant with her second child, sets on a journey for answers: who is Elena, really? Does she know her well enough? Her mother is distant and there’s an area she can’t reach, no matter how hard she tries; that hasn’t changed over the years.With an appearance of simple prose, but charged with truthful images, Adriana Riva examines family relationships with an admirable precision, humor and rawness that turn The Salt into an intimate and touching novel. “This is the age of women, and argentinian literature is being renewed by many writers. Adriana Riva writes with verbal brilliance, creates wonderful images and shoots at the heart of empathy. With this book she asserts herself, without a doubt, as a truly unique voice in this literary scene”.Santiago Llach

        by Lucy Holland

        Angst

        by Adriana Riva

        Angst is a novel filled with sensitive and sophisticated images that are the result of the singular gaze of the author, skillful in the sewing together of metaphors and esthetic associations of rare originality. When literature grants us the privilege of witnessing these findings, the reading experience transforms into pure emotion; we find ourselves vulnerable in front of weird and valuable pieces that we graze with our fingertips just to test if they’re real. Beautiful and real. Her stories go beyond the dramatic experience; the proposal is to elevate them through the aesthetics of a refined and silky prose that will remain within the reader's sensibility and memory as a luminous work of art.
